This RPG is set in the land of Equestria after it has been conquered and split between the Changelings and a foriegn fascist nation. It is based in large part on the Equestria at War mod for Hearts of Iron 4, and uses D&D 3.5 mechanics

4 of the group have taken a job to clear a site of a future real estate development of undead. They seem to have stumbled upon a centuries old evil long forgotten by Equestria. Meanwhile, Ash has discovered foals from the order of Saint Prancis orphanage practicing dark magic and sacrifices in the woods, while Iron is having not-so-pleasant dreams

Nah, he'd just leave everything but his greatsword with the rest of the group and wander off into the forest to seek a warrior's death.

In Silver's eyes, he just defeated a tough opponent he thought it was invincible. He should feel mighty, not ashamed of his prowess, so you can't do that

I don't know why, and in all likelihood, Silver would never do that. Still, I, like Silver, have come to the realization that Silver here is good at doing nothing. He can't fight. He doesn't do well on skill check. And at the rate PCs are leveling in this game, he has no chance of getting any better.
>>77319
He nearly died, and the only reason he managed to finish it off is because Onyx swooped in with his magic kill stick and nearly brought the thing down on his own. He built his entire self-image on the idea that he can fight, and that even in his age he can still fight. But now he realizes he can't.

Reeeee I accidentally deleted my text again!

Sister Ash sighs, it being too late at night for her to give a pep-talk to a foal about magical philosophy.
"If you wanted to learn magick, you certainly won't find anything of value from a street peddler.." she begins
"And you definitely won't find what you're looking for offering tribute to evil creatures. Magick is ingrained in morality: conjuring evil is always an evil act, and evil can only be used to spread evil.." she continues
"You don't know it yet, but the thing you're looking for won't be found in a book like this."

Isn’t that suppose to make you train harder and not give up immediately? It would make sense if he was a level 20 fighter that couldn’t fight, but you are a low level. It’s part of the leveling process to encounter lots of enemies that pose a challenge to not just one player, but all the players’ strength put together.

Maybe if Silver was young and he still had his whole life in front of him. But he's 68 years old. The only thing he's known, and believed he was good at, was fighting. To have that taken away from him like this would be devastating.

It doesn't help that he's surrounded by another fighter who can kill almost anything he gets put up against, a druid who can summon fierce animals at will, a ranger/rouge with two powerful magic revolvers, a sorcerer who can annihilate enemies with magic, and whatever Iron is. Meanwhile, Silver is...just an old stallion with a sword. He's not strong, or fast, or have anything that can really aid him. He's just...there. Taking up space.
>>77326
Nah. His father wasn't very creative with names, so he named him Silver Sword, because he was working on a silver sword when his son was born, and because his coat back then was remotely close to being silver-colored.

It’s not like this is natural circumstances. This is a war vet being enhanced with evil magic and unholy powers. This is a new world of fighting, one that will launch Silver into a warrior status into the stratosphere. Being the one to slay the dead? Not even magic and being brought back to life can stop Silver from putting you back in your place. He will be feared all throughout the city.

I can't really criticize since GM is making the path of suicidal Iron oh so tempting, but please. Iron got raped in his sleep and couldn't even fight against it while you just did poorly in a single fight. Give it a break, Silver should had more than one job that was done poorly.

68 is way past middle age for a creature that ages like a human.
Age affects you ability scores. At that Age, you'd take a -3 penalty to Str, Dex, and Con. You'd get a +2 bonus to Int, Wis, and Char though

Bitch fuckin' please. Silver is one of only two characters to deal any damage to the ghast at all. Dark Star failed to damage it at all thanks possibly to an unwillingness to duel wield or double tap. Spark got fucked over with shitty dice rolls, and was also unwilling to shoot it with his laser. The only reason Ash could kill a CR3 so quickly was 1. she had two extremely powerful spells in reserve, and she used both of them in a single fight 2. I let her get a bonus round to try to hit it before rolling initiative.

>How many ponies know about the undead?
Knowledge (religion) is thr skill that concerns undead. It's a train only skill, so only Clerics, Adepts, Bards, Wizards, and Expert NPCs would have extensive knowledge of them.
That doesn't mean a normal person can't take 10 on an untrained intelligence check upon seeing a 1 HD zombie and scream "Ahh! It's a zombie!"
